Century Casino Cripple Creek is a casino hotel on Bennett Avenue in Cripple Creek, Colorado, advertising slots, electronic table games, video poker bars, and an on-site restaurant. I think its strongest selling point is convenience: you can gamble, eat, and stay at the same property. It looks best suited to machine players seeking a straightforward overnight visit. The main limitation is that the available listings do not establish a staffed live-table lineup, poker room, or retail sportsbook.

Property overview
Century combines a gambling floor, lodging, and dining rather than requiring you to assemble those pieces at separate properties. Its Bennett Avenue setting also makes it a useful base for exploring Cripple Creek’s downtown casino district.
I would judge Century on that combination, not on whether it can imitate a sprawling destination resort. For some visitors, a room near the machines and a convenient breakfast are more useful than a long amenities list.
The city’s casino directory advertises Century’s gaming and non-smoking hotel. These are property descriptions, not guarantees that every service will be available at every hour. For a broader comparison, see our guide to Colorado casinos.
Casino floor: slots, video poker, and electronic games
The city specifically names slots, an electronic table-games area, and video poker bars. That gives machine players a clear reason to consider Century, while leaving questions about dealer-operated games unanswered.
I would not choose a casino solely by its machine count. Finding the game, denomination, and wagering level you want matters more than the number in a headline. No current property-specific inventory count is used here.
Slots and video poker
For slots, check the total bet before starting. A penny denomination can still involve a considerably larger wager once credits, lines, or other game requirements come into play. Budget for the amount deducted per spin, not the smallest number on the screen.
For video poker, inspect the pay table. The game name alone does not tell you what important hands pay. The supplied information establishes video poker bars but does not identify denominations or pay schedules.
There is no basis here for calling Century’s machines loose or tight. Another player’s jackpot, or miserable afternoon, does not establish the casino’s long-term returns.
Table games: electronic versus dealer-operated
An electronic table-games area is advertised; a current staffed live-table lineup is not established. If blackjack or craps is the point of your trip, ask specifically about dealer-operated games and their schedule.
My question would be, “Will that game be running when I arrive?” A general answer about what a casino offers may not tell you what will be open on a weekday afternoon.
Gamboool comparison: Century and Golden Nugget
The same city directory highlights electronic table games at Century but explicitly names Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em, blackjack, craps, and roulette at Golden Nugget.
That does not prove Century lacks live games or guarantee that Golden Nugget will have every named game operating. It does give a table-game-focused visitor a more specific published lineup to investigate at Golden Nugget. For machine players, Century’s description is a more direct match.
Gamboool original analysis
We assembled the comparison below from published information and our calculations. These are selected examples, rather than measured gambling sessions or a representative survey.
| Detail | Published information |
|---|---|
| Century Casino Cripple Creek: Published gaming options | The city’s casino directory specifically advertises slots, an electronic table-games area, and video poker bars. This is useful for distinguishing the advertised electronic offering from a staffed table-game lineup; the passage does not establish dealer-operated blackjack or craps. |
| Golden Nugget Casino & Hotel, Cripple Creek: Nearby gaming-lineup comparison | The same city directory explicitly names Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em, blackjack, craps, and roulette at Golden Nugget, whereas its Century description names an electronic table-games area. Players choosing a downtown stop around a particular table game have a more specific published lineup to investigate at Golden Nugget; neither listing establishes staffing or hours. |
| Century Casino Cripple Creek hotel: Smoking policy | The city directory describes Century’s hotel as non-smoking. This supports a hotel-policy statement, but it should not be expanded into a casino-floor smoking policy without another source. |
| Mid City Grill at Century Casino Cripple Creek: Location and weekly meal-service coverage | The city dining listing places Mid City Grill inside Century Casino and advertises breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week. This makes on-site meals a documented convenience, although exact opening and closing times are not supplied. |
| Mid City Grill at Century Casino Cripple Creek: Published food selection | The published selection includes classic breakfasts, burgers, sandwiches, steaks, chicken, buffalo sirloin, and pies. This supports describing a casual American dining option rather than promising a buffet or a specialty fine-dining restaurant. The opened listing supplies no menu prices for a meal-cost comparison. |
| Mid City Grill at Century Casino Cripple Creek: Dining-comps program | The city listing names the Gold Club as a way to earn dining comps. It does not publish an earning rate, redemption threshold, or guaranteed meal benefit, so no gambling-to-meal-value calculation is supported. |
| Century’s Colorado casino properties: Published online sports-betting partnership | The operator’s Q2 2025 presentation identifies a bet365 online sports-betting partnership in its Colorado property overview. This is evidence of an online arrangement, not evidence of a staffed retail sportsbook or a dedicated viewing lounge at Cripple Creek. |

Method: Published inputs collected 2026-10-12. Illustrative assumptions are labeled, and the full calculation inputs remain in the saved research record. These examples support planning; they do not predict a particular session.
This comparison assembles published descriptions. It is not a casino-floor test or a ranking of game quality. I would use it to narrow the questions to ask before leaving home.
Poker room
There is no dedicated poker room or on-site sportsbook.
Sportsbook
The operator’s Q2 2025 investor presentation identifies a bet365 online sports-betting partnership in its Colorado property overview. That does not establish a staffed retail sportsbook or dedicated viewing lounge at Century Cripple Creek.
For an on-site watch-and-wager visit, ask about physical betting facilities, seating, and service hours. An online partnership, a television showing football, and a retail betting counter answer different questions.
Hotel: convenience is the main argument
The on-site hotel makes the most sense when staying overnight improves the trip itself. You can finish your evening without immediately tackling the mountain drive home, and you have a base for visiting other downtown casinos.
The city describes the hotel as non-smoking. That statement should not be stretched into a complete casino-floor or outdoor smoking policy.
I would compare Century on the room you can book, its complete price, and the location. If a pool, spa, or extensive resort facilities are essential, establish those features separately. The available material does not document that amenity package.
What to check before booking
No current room rate, resort fee, or supported hotel-cost comparison is available in the supplied records. Compare the final booking total for your dates, including taxes, mandatory fees, any parking charge, and cancellation terms.
A cheaper nonrefundable room is not automatically the better deal when mountain weather could affect your plans. Confirm check-in and check-out times, bed arrangements, and room features that matter to you. Light sleepers should ask about room placement; guests with accessibility needs should confirm bathroom features and the route between parking, reception, the room, and the casino.
Mid City Grill and bars
The city’s Mid City Grill listing places the restaurant inside Century and advertises breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week. Published selections include classic breakfasts, burgers, sandwiches, steaks, chicken, buffalo sirloin, and pies.
That reads to me as a practical American-food stop for a gambling break, rather than a restaurant to build an entire vacation around. This is a menu-based assessment, not a firsthand meal review.
Three meals advertised on-site is useful, especially overnight. However, the listing supplies neither exact service hours nor prices. Confirm an early breakfast or late dinner: seven-day service does not mean all-night service. Video poker bars are also identified, but a separate current bar lineup and schedule are not supplied.
Entertainment and amenities
I would treat the casino, hotel, and restaurant as the core reasons to visit. The sources do not establish a current entertainment schedule, pool, spa, or broader resort offering. If a show or amenity matters, check it for your date before booking.
Cripple Creek’s historic setting offers possibilities beyond the machines. Plan non-gambling activities separately, particularly for anyone in your group who will not be using the casino.
Directions, parking, and practical visit information
The existing property listing gives the address as 200-220 E Bennett Ave, Cripple Creek, CO 80813, and the phone number as +1 719-689-0333. Confirm these details with the property when arranging your visit.
From the Colorado Springs area, the usual approach follows US 24 toward Divide, then Colorado Highway 67 south to Cripple Creek. Allow for mountain conditions rather than treating it like an urban commute. Check road conditions and the forecast before leaving.
Current parking arrangements and charges are not documented. Ask where hotel guests should park, where to unload luggage, and whether the route to reception meets your needs.
- Hours: Confirm casino hours, game availability, and restaurant service separately.
- Identification: Bring valid photo identification, and check entry and gambling requirements before traveling.
- Transportation: Plan both directions. Do not assume airport transfers, rideshare availability, valet service, or EV charging.
- Smoking: Ask about designated areas. The documented non-smoking policy applies to the hotel.
- Weather: Bring layers, and understand your hotel cancellation deadline.
Rewards program
The municipal dining listing names the Gold Club as a way to earn dining comps. Because it is undated, confirm the current program name, eligible play, and redemption terms.
Joining does not establish an automatic free meal. No earning rate or redemption threshold is supplied, so no gambling-to-meal-value calculation is supported. My rule is simple: collect benefits on play you already intended to make. Do not increase your spending to chase a burger.
Guest feedback and important limitations
The available material contains no usable current customer reviews. The supplied Google Travel record returned an unsupported-browser page, and the older article’s two favorable guest quotations lack reviewer dates and direct review links. Neither supports a current pattern of praise or complaints.
The assessment therefore rests on the documented offering: machine gaming, an on-site hotel, and casual dining. The main planning limitation is uncertainty about live tables, poker, retail sports betting, parking, and broader amenities.
Before booking, I would look for recent reports about cleanliness, room condition, noise, and service, noting when the stay occurred and which room was involved. Those details can help with accommodations. Winning and losing stories cannot tell you which casino offers better odds.
Who Century Casino Cripple Creek is best for
- Slots and video poker players: Both are explicitly advertised.
- Overnight gambling visitors: Lodging can avoid the drive home immediately after an evening out.
- Guests who value convenient meals: Mid City Grill advertises all three daily meals, subject to confirming hours.
- Downtown casino explorers: The Bennett Avenue setting suits a multi-property visit.
I would be more cautious about choosing Century for live poker, a sportsbook-centered afternoon, or an amenity-heavy resort stay. Establish the feature you want first, then decide whether the room and location make sense.
